SUMMARY:Concert Choir & Chorale with Jocelyn Hagen - Changemaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets\n$20 general admission\nStudents free (ticket required)\nAlso streaming live \nMead Witter School of Music Changemaker Series\nWith Jocelyn Hagen\, composer and vocalist \nPre-concert talk with Jocelyn Hagen begins at 7 pm \nDr. Mariana Farah and Dr. Bert Pinsonneault\, conductors\nJocelyn Hagen\, composer\nMonica Bertrand and Benjamin Hanson\, assistant conductors\nBoris Krivoshein and Hyeyeon Seok\, piano \n…… \nProgram\n \n…… \nJocelyn Hagen composes music that has been described as “simply magical” (Fanfare Magazine) and “dramatic and deeply moving” (Star Tribune\, Minneapolis/St. Paul). She is a pioneer in the field of composition\, pushing the expectations of musicians and audiences with large-scale multimedia works\, electro-acoustic music\, dance\, opera\, and publishing. Her first forays into composition were via songwriting\, still very evident in her work. The majority of her compositions are for the voice: solo\, chamber and choral. Her melodic music is rhythmically driven and texturally complex\, rich in color and deeply heartfelt. \nIn 2019 and 2020\, choirs and orchestras across the country are premiering her multimedia symphony The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci that includes video projections created by a team of visual artists\, highlighting da Vinci’s spectacular drawings\, inventions\, and texts. Hagen describes her process of composing for choir\, orchestra and film simultaneously in a Tedx Talk given at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis\, now available on YouTube. Her dance opera collaboration with choreographer Penelope Freeh\, Test Pilot\, received the 2017 American Prize in the musical theater/opera division as well as a Sage Award for “Outstanding Design.” The panel declared the work “a tour de force of originality.” \nAs a fierce advocate for gender equality and inclusivity\, Hagen’s Compose Like A Girl initiative amplifies female-identifying composers\, helps conductors diversify their concerts\, and works toward more equality in music programming and commissioning. Through her podcasts\, she engages in discussions with renowned composers like Reena Esmail\, Chen Yi\, and Rosephanye Powell. These conversations delve into the dynamics of opportunity\, power\, and privilege within the arts\, advocating for female-identifying composers to embrace their unique artistic expression with confidence. The initiative also provides mentorship to emerging women composers\, and highlights excellent work through her newly developed Compose Like A Girl Choral Series. \nIn 2013 Hagen released an EP entitled MASHUP\, in which she performs Debussy’s “Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum” while singing Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team.” She is also one half of the band Nation\, an a cappella duo with composer/performer Timothy C. Takach\, and together they perform and serve as clinicians for choirs from all over the world. \nHagen’s commissions include Conspirare\, the Minnesota Opera\, the Minnesota Orchestra\, the International Federation of Choral Music\, the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota\, Georgia\, Connecticut and Texas\, the North Dakota Music Teachers Association\, Cantus\, the Boston Brass\, the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and the St. Olaf Band\, among many others. Her work is independently published through JH Music\, as well as through Graphite Publishing\, G. Schirmer\, ECS Publishing\, Fred Bock Music Publishing\, Santa Barbara Music Publishing\, and Boosey and Hawkes.
